Pyrotechnic compositions are high-risk chemical materials characterized by sensitivity, flammability and explosiveness. Impact, friction, compression, flame, high temperature or static electricity may trigger combustion or an explosion.

Processing these materials requires a project-specific hazard assessment, strict operating procedures and equipment designed for the identified hazardous conditions. Explosion protection, static control, temperature monitoring, remote operation and suitable contact materials must be evaluated as part of the complete safety system.

Equipment selection and operation must comply with applicable laws, codes and site safety requirements. JCT can discuss customized kneading and mixing configurations only after the customer provides complete material hazard data and process conditions.
